I recently started play Lusternia and I was wondering if it is possible to make a code that has a delays before it activates and repeats with the delay. and please do not tell me to get another client.

Straight from their help files aka I've not tested this because I've never used (or heard of until now) FMud.
addTimer(delay:Number, code:String, repeat:int = 1)
Executes code every delay seconds, repeat times.
CODE
counter = 5
function countdown() {
  echo(counter)
  counter--
}
addTimer(1, "countdown()", 5)
function countdown() {
  echo(counter)
  counter--
}
addTimer(1, "countdown()", 5)
Just out of curiosity, why are you sticking with a third part flash client when Lusternia has its own tailored flash client available for free (with people on the forums who use it who could help you) or, what's stopping you from adopting a full fledged client?

I believe the IRE Flash client is actually a custom version of Fmud.

The reason for my not getting another is because I get headaches from having to figure out a whole new code. I am really used to ######.

But you don't even know how this one works, so using a different client would just be the same.

I understand that. I had to rewire myself from zScript to Lua. Unless FMud has a robust community, though, I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything beyond people just repeating stuff in their help files as most people just don't want to take the time to download and learn the quirks of a somewhat obscure client just to answer a question. Only exception I've run across is things like helping those in our community with sight issues who use VIPmud or the like.
Personally I think you'd have an easier time of getting into the game and coding by having strong community support to answer questions. Mushclient has an immense forums, plus Nick Gammon is GREAT about answering questions competently and quickly (And Zarquan is quite excellent about helping out with questions here that are Mushclient/Lua specific). And Mudlet has been gaining a lot of support and favour due to the efforts of a solid backbone of coder/players answering/developing over at their forums plus people like Vadi and demonnic here, and has a lot of excellent features as well. (There are tons more brilliant people lurking about, too, I just named a few of the more vocal forum goers.)
I'd personally avoid zmud/cmud at this point if you're just starting, but that's just a personal opinion.
Either way, welcome to the game, good luck, and I hope to see you stick around.

say Actualy I do know how it works. it is just I have a hard time writing codes.
^oops

Maybe you'll have an easier time writing codes for something else?
As pointed out, not many people use it seriously, so you can't expect outstanding answers on it.

And, as I said, Fmud is being used by IRE, too. You can use the one on the Kongregate site, which is very customized and probably far better than the basic Fmud, if that is what you're using now.
